I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capco (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Sep 2024
Interview
Overall, the interview process was challenging and enjoyable. The first stage was application submission, followed by a video questionnaire, then a case study and virtual interview, and then finally an in-person interview at the respective office.
The case study was a particular highlight as this provided a taste of what you would be doing in the role. You would create a presentation (I used PowerPoint) based on what the case study was asking you to do and then present your findings to the Capco employee on the call (usually a Principal Consultant). This was supplemented with 45 minutes of questions.

Question 1
My favourite question was, 'If I was to phone your CEO right now and ask him to describe you in three words, what would he say?'
The process was very straightforward and the organization was very communicative throughout. There were a couple of prescreening interviews, a group case study, then interview with a higher-up. Everyone was friendly and made the environment less tense, particualrly during the case study.

Question 1
Do you rely more on your gut feeling or research and data to inform your work?
The interview process was very smooth, with excellent communication from the recruitment team at every stage. The process consisted of an initial self-recorded interview, followed by an assessment centre and a final interview. The entire process was completed in just over a month, and I was kept well informed throughout with clear updates and prompt feedback. Overall, it was a professional and well-organised experience.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Capco (London, England) in May 2026
Interview
The recruitment process felt genuinely well thought out compared to other firms I interviewed with. The initial video interview involved four experience-based questions and one case study style question which gave a real taste of what the role involves. From there, the in-person assessment centre was intense but energising. You are in a group of up to nine candidates with senior consultants observing throughout, working through a real FS case study and an individual task. The people I met were engaged and clearly invested in finding the right fit rather than just ticking boxes. Dan in recruitment was brilliant throughout and kept me informed at every stage
